Trying to understand how much of a pickle I'm really in. I didn't file a return for 2005. The IRS filed a return for me and of course they omitted any deductions or credits and assume I owe $18K plus penalties and interest. Upon review, I've found that I did file a return for 2005 in 2011 but they never acknowledged receipt and I have no proof it was sent. I have the return finished in my files and it shows that I'm owed a refund (but I understand I may have forfeited any right to a refund or credit). Will they recognize a return if it's filed 10 years after the fact? Bad situation since they've filed a tax lien against me.
Thanks in advance for any advise.
